The next morning, a new story broke out in Jiangcheng.
Zhou, the playboy from City B, got beaten up.
He wasn’t paralyzed but ended up with two broken ribs.
Su Ruanruan saw the news during breakfast.
She checked her phone and then said in a soft voice, "Such a familiar style!"
"Feeling sorry for him?" Bao Jingyan chuckled.
Su Ruanruan then said, "Should I visit him in the hospital later?"
"You wouldn’t dare!" Bao Jingyan warned.
He lowered his voice, "Wasn’t last night’s lesson enough?"
She was worried that Auntie Li would hear and laugh at her.
Bao Jingyan said, "With all that noise last night, Auntie Li must have heard it."
Su Ruanruan was both embarrassed and angry.
She secretly swore that she wouldn’t help him again next time he was in pain.
Bao Jingyan, however, talked business: "What are we going to do about the Su Family?"
Su Ruanruan thought for a moment, "Let’s just let it be for now! I doubt those two sisters can endure for long."
He quickly left for work.
Su Ruanruan went alone to the study to read.
Auntie Li brewed her a cup of aromatic tea and casually prepared a small plate of snacks.
"I won’t have the snacks," Su Ruanruan complained softly, "I’ve gained two pounds recently."
"Being plump feels better to the touch," Auntie Li scolded her, "Which man dislikes women with a bit more flesh?"
Su Ruanruan was momentarily speechless.
Auntie Li happily went downstairs with the empty plate.
Soon after, Gu Jiarou came running over.
She brought today’s sensational news.
Su Ruanruan gave her the plate of snacks and brewed a pot of tea just for her.
Gu Jiarou spoke animatedly, "You have no idea, Zhou’s hospital room was so lively."
Her little hand gestured, "Three or four women in the ward, each acting as if they were the official girlfriend... they were about to start fighting."
Su Ruanruan flipped through her book.
She asked, "What about Su Qionglin?"
Gu Jiarou’s smile faded: "Of course she was there too! I don’t know what she was thinking."
She continued to talk about other things, like how that little model also went.
Su Ruanruan didn’t say much!
Gu Jiarou knew what she had to do and tried to comfort her: "It’s not your fault she’s like that! It’s her own vanity and desire to climb the social ladder!"
Zhou’s girlfriends decided to take turns caring for him each day.
The first day belonged to Su Qionglin.
She tenderly peeled fruit for him and comforted him with her own family’s experiences.
"It’s not a serious injury, nothing much!"
Zhou, pampered since birth, when had he ever suffered ?
He was ambushed with a blow to the head at his front door last night.
Punched and kicked until two ribs were broken.
Su Qionglin even dared to call it a minor injury!
He was so angry he couldn’t speak.
Su Qionglin added, "I once injured my foot and it took days to recover, and my second brother also broke two ribs, and my grandfather’s leg had been broken... they all recovered fine."
But Zhou Jinhua was not as foolish as she!
Upon hearing this, he frowned immediately, "When did all these happen?"
"These past six months," Su Qionglin sighed, "The family’s luck hasn’t been very good this half-year."
Zhou’s eyes narrowed, and suddenly he thought of someone.
He harassed her yesterday and even added her on WeChat.
Zhou was both embarrassed and enraged!
He was about to force himself to get up when a nurse came in with a bouquet of flowers.
Zhou’s pupils dilated when he saw the flowers.
"Take them out!" he said quickly and urgently!
The nurse was confused; instead of taking them out, she put them in a vase.
"Mr. Zhou, lilies are very soothing."
Soothing my ass! He was allergic to lilies!
